+41% retention
Lumin Fitness, 30-day retention after our redesign.
Your engineering is ahead of your UX. We close the gap.
Your team ships code at AI speed. We design the product, then set up the AI agents that hold your design standard as you ship.
Who we are
Precious is a design studio in Austin, founded in 2015. We work with founders and product leaders whose product has outgrown its design, and we build AI infrastructure for teams that already have designers.
Two ways we help
Most teams come to us from one of two places. Pick yours.
No design team? We're your design team.
A researcher, product designer, system designer and motion designer, for about the cost of one senior hire. From $4,500 a month.
Already have designers? We set up AI agents for them.
We write your design standard down, set up agents that work inside your design system, and a senior person reviews every output. About half of design hours come back.
Our work
Since 2015 we've shipped 150+ products, for companies that reach millions of people. FitnessGram serves over 10 million students. Endeavor runs 90+ media brands. Here are five we're proud of.
- View case study
Lumin Fitness
Great in-studio tech, an app a tier behind → an app that feels as good as the studio.
- View case study
Pilot
No senior design lead and a patchy system → a small team shipping like a big one.
- View case study
Knomadix
Math learning loss and no tool built to close it → 2.5x to 7x gains in STAAR math proficiency.
- View case study
Endeavor Business Media
80+ brands on 100+ disconnected components → one system every brand builds from.
- View case study
RAWW
No product, no brand, two very different audiences → one brand and design system, and an award-winning MVP.
How it works
Three steps, and no long contract.
A 20-minute call.
With Pavi or Dilini, about your product and where it's stuck.
A two-week sprint.
On the part of your product that matters most.
Month to month after that.
An ongoing team from $4,500 a month. Stop any month.
Clients
Founders and product leads at fitness, education, sports and AI companies hire us when their product works but doesn't look it yet. That includes FitnessGram, the student fitness assessment used in over 30,000 US schools.

Questions
What founders ask before the first call: what it costs, how fast we start, and what happens if it isn't working.
What does "how it feels" actually mean?
How your product moves, responds, and makes people feel while they use it. We design that along with the screens.
What does it cost?
An ongoing team starts at $4,500 a month, month-to-month.
We already have designers. Can you still help?
Yes. We write your design standard down, set up AI agents that work inside your design system, and a senior person reviews every output.
How fast can we start?
After a 20-minute call, we can plan your first two-week sprint.
Can you handle complex, technical products?
Yes. Many of our clients are AI companies with complex products.
What if it's not working out?
You can stop any month. There's no long contract.
